Guys

We are looking for some feedback regarding a new carbon look dashboard we are developing.



Carbon Look Dash



Carbon Look Dash - Gauge Pods

The dash has been moulded in thick carbon look ABS and is totally SVA compliant. It features angled gauge pods (for excellent driver visibility) and a moulding for a "BRIGHT 6" LED illuminated warning light module or more conventional warning lamps.

We will also be supplying colour co-ordinated gauge sets and a matching steering column cowl.

The dash pictured is a bespoke version developed for GTS Tuning although we are also producing a universal version that is supplied with an untrimmed flange, so should fit most scuttles.

We would welcome any feedback on the layout/design but also appreciate information relating to the shape and size of the scuttles builders have used.

If anyone can supply detailed dimensions (or better still) a paper template indicating the available dash area for your scuttle/transmission tunnel/gear-stick combination we would show our appreciation with a discount on the finished product.

For futher details please contact gary.meades@kartsmart.co.uk

Many thanks
Gary

Would look a lot better with invisible fixings.

Where about in berkshire are you based??

It looks great IMO. I think black headed fixings would finish it off. I also think the gauges look good with silver bezels. If they were CF look-a-like too, it may be a bit much.

Steering column cowels sounds like a good idea. Would finish the whole interior off nicely.

I like the moulding and the layout, not so sure about the CF look - it seems everyone wants to have a CF effect dash these days - it's all a little too common for me!

I suppose it could be painted easy enough.

there are a couple of minor things that I am thinking of when I finally get to the dash stage which would be hard to add without making the dash look crap, namely a matching clock (as in time) and a small glove box. also possibly a start button, cigarette lighter (for powering things like a snooper otr mobile phone) and maybe even a stereo?

maybe it would be possible to make it modular with the centre section (where the dials are) being a seperate moulding which could be swapped for different layouts/requirements?

General comment though - Great! looks really nice

Don't like the fake CF effect, also looks too fussy would look better as a plain flat dash with recess for standard clocks.

if you zoom in looks like something but the first impression is a plastic look..

and plastic is cheap...

i don't like it..

would like it if there where more fixings..(black ones)

and if it was plain...exept the final edge where your legs are..(rounded, SVA no rubber needed..)

clocks idea is good but do it with more angle or let it be plain..

just my opinion..

Argh that's where the yellow scuttle went then

I think it looks well cool! Any plans for a velocity one?

I think it looks nice. And like someone siad earlier a removable panel for options such as stereo etc. Is it meant to look like CF? I think its nice just black anyway, which is all i can really see with my poop computer......

Dash board blokes,
how did the 2nd race go Sunday...?
